The 2401 Surprise.

Many many years ago, a young lady was born on this date, 15th October. The lady fell in love with a tall, dark and handsome young man. After a few years of marriage, pops out three beautiful daughters. And now, the eldest is married to an extreme-good-looking-badminton-kaki, the middle child has just entered the working chapter and is happily attached (also with an extreme-badminton-kaki) and the youngest girl is about to sit for her major exam in few weeks' time.

The little girl (not so little anymore) did not know what awaits her on her birthday this year. NO IDEA AT ALL. Dad had already planned out everything. In fact, already purchased the 'surprise'! So, we asked Mom what she wanted to eat on her birthday. She just wanted to have a nice small steamboat at home. So steamboat at home it is (my fav!!)

Surprise to be told at the end of the night! (after all the photo-taking and eating to our hearts' content!) For now, let's feast our eyes on this gorgeous family's photos *paiseh*

HERE COMES THE BEST PART! We made her sit down in the middle of the living room at the couch (sort of) and then Kah Wei and Rachel stood in front of her with the surprise in their hands. It comes in a card-like-shape (100% handmade by Rachel) and we opened slowly one by one for her to read and to see the pictures!

So here's what she thought was gonna happen on the 17th December (when Vanessa and I will be in KL for our youth camp). My dad told her that they should go down KL too for a short holiday since her two daughters are there and they could go IKEA (I tell you, my whole family is obsessed with IKEA!) That will explain why IKEA is in the card! Now, go ahead and see! :)

She refused to believe that the surprise was real! She actually thought that it was just a prank/joke. Not serious eh. Haha. She took quite a while to let it all sink down that SHE IS REALLY GOING TO HONG KONG! (Title is 'The 2401 Surprise' because that's how far Hong Kong is from Penang!) And Kelly at that point thought she's going with them too and jumped in excitement. Should have looked at her face when we told her that she wasn't going anywhere! Poor thing la. Anyways...

BLESSED BIRTHDAY YOUNG WOMAN!

You totally rock all our world.

:)

Love you both longest time.

At This Moment.

I am chewing and swallowing the mom's packed spaghetti from home (which was our lunch today) ...

I am thinking if I will really get fat in a few months time (at this rate that I'm going in the office, it's highly

likely that it will happen) ...

I will love it if I could just go home and sleep (not because I don't have enough sleep, more to because I want to be lazy) ...

I can feel that it's about time to see Dr. Loo ...

I'm smiling while looking at the Twitter (for no reason, at all) ...

I am definitely mumbling ...

I really want to just get that Coach handbag (afterall all my 3 months hardwork, yes? for sure koay will nag me till i die. Haha) ...

I can't wait to go home and rest a while and flood the cinema like everyone else on a Wednesday night ...

I'm not wearing contact lens and no makeup is on ...

My food drawer is becoming very empty ...

I am watching the tutorial on the "dance" that we all have to practice for the annual ball. ...

I am figuring a way to escape form having to dance on November the third...

I'm just being totally random...

Oh well, have a great mind-blowing awesome yummy superb Wednesday you peeps.

Koo-ahh-laa Luum-puur!

I remembered aiming for this to come and when it finally did, boy was I super happy! The only sad thing is that it's throughout the weekend only (since most of us are working adults and have work on Monday! Note on the ADULTS! Hahaha) But still out of the island means holiday d! :)

That Friday, my body was in office (and Bayan lepas since I followed my HOD there) but the soul and mind was focusing on the trip d! Rushed home immediately to take a quick shower and off to fetch Marianne Tan's dreamy boyfriend. yes, I'm talking about you , Indy benjamin Toh! (I just googled her and she's so sweeeeeet!)

ready to rock and roll babeh!

dinner on the go (that mineral water costs me RM2.50!)

The moment I walked in, he immediately said "No Subway Melt!" And I'm like "What?!!Why nott!?" (actually i understood why he insisted that we just get the sub of the day cos it's alot cheaper and I was already planning to get cookies also) but still, it's a holiday okay! :P

meeting point: E-Gate. Kuan Yang, the maskot of our tour bus (just right behind him)

and we left the island at around 7:30pm!

always hungry and always want to find food eat la this boy! kacang kuda ftw! :)

we used Waze (my fav app) to find our way to the hotel, and we got lost due to some missing route in the app. Nevertheless, I still like Waze, a lot! :)

finally, we reached the destination at around 1:30am!

semua pun sudah tired and sleepy and hungry. good thing got mamak beside the hotel.

roti sardin. first time trying it and love it instantly. and the next day when i wanted to order, the person say finish d. *angryyy* 

next, I shall show you our room!

When you have 3 girls with braces staying together, you'll see three same kind of toothbrush.

for a budget hotel, their toilet is very nicely done.

our messy beds.

our mini entertainment on the yellow painted walls.

and me vaining before heading out for the first match. I love the T-shirt! (and eyebags thanks to very few hours of sleep night before)

everyone excited to play some balls yo!

so, everyone who came for this trip has a role in each of their line, whether it's center, defense or forward or coach. Me, went there as a tourist. Haha. I was there as the person who's in charge of the first aid kit and also photographer.

Ice packs, check.

pain relief sprays, check.

I'm now a pro in handling cramps and bruises and small cuts *proud*

before the game begins, I've still got some time to snap some photos here and there. 

girls team up first. 

Boys up next.

gary cho siau. that's yen yen and ling ling's bed btw. and gary haven't bathe?

his mega man pills. apparently can give him more energy or power? so hugeee!

and Gary told me on the second day that it's impossible that we will be able to go Ikea on this trip due to time constraint. And yes, I was sooo sad but I prayed (no joke, I was that desperate to get my hands on those meatballs!) and that prayer was answered! The last match finished earlier than expected and we made our way to the happy placee!

last shot of the trip with my two roomies, fireBRANDS girls! :)



Ending this post with three pictures that I took that looked so niceeee!



next holiday (cruise): nineteen days to go.

A Day In Her Shoe.

Here's a peek to what some part of my working life is like. Being a sales person, I definitely get to travel a lot. That also within the island and probably the furthest is Nibong Tebal. It's quite fun I would say. It's not like those full 8 hours stay in office. Sure sien like what only. So, here we go.

first thing that I do when I get into the car. Heels off, thongs on. facebook slippers ftw!



my faithful 'passenger' when I hit the road.

yesterday, my appointments were around Bayan Lepas area (and I was lost!) So, something about driving to Bayan lepas is that it's pretty impossible to find parking space. Actually, can find but it's reallly far! See the white building right at the end center of the picture? That's where I walked to, in my heels (good thing, I bought a not-so-high-heels few days ago).

the sun was burning hot, but as usual I'm happy to be under the sunlight! Me heart the sun long long time! :)

On the way to my last client and feeling very exhausted, I saw this. And I thought poor chickens, waiting for their time/turn to be killed and then eaten by the humans. Godo thing my favorite meat is pork. Hahaha.



So ya, pretty much how my days are like when I'm behind the wheels with one hand holding my S2 (looking at Waze and hoping it will always lead me to the right destination!) and another holding the steering. Quite an adventure being in this line. Loving it so far :)

Oh! Guess who's name card is ready?! First time getting a name card with my name on it feels super awesome. As awesome as having own phone line and own office direct number! Holiday Tours, founded in 1972 and have 4 branches in Malaysia (Penang, Kuantan, Johor, PJ and KL-head office). Saja want to tell abit of the history. Haha. You should google the KL office and see. It's sooo nice. Different shades and tones of colors. And it's huge! Definitely a place for youth I would say. Office here is probably very similar to the one there! That's why me love itt! :) This will show you how my third home looks like! :)



Alright, I shall write no more. (time is passing so slow on purpose today, knowing that we leave at 7pm tonight! grrr)

Have a blessed weekend and be a blessing to others! :)
